Where might I find one of those leveling valve setups? Put one on my other bus and it worked well. Can't seem to find it on the net now. Thanks

You can buy the valves from Automation Direct for 15 bucks each I like the toggle style myself,the gauges you buy any place the guy in Lake Havasu still makes and sells that kit a little over priced IMO

Looks great! The bus I'm buying has a similar setup except for the manual/highway switch. How does that switch work? Does it somehow use the leveling valves?

   Had that system in our 4104. Worked fine for many years. I have all the pieces to put one in the 4905, but have other things to do first. The flip valve is from Parker Hannifan, the push pull valves are like air ride seats, gages from McMaster-Carr or off Ebay. Also uses Bendix double check valves at the leveling valves and controls each front air bag separately when not in Hgwy. I can supply part numbers for the components if someone needs them. Mr. Rideout used to sell the system years ago; has since passed. HB industries sold/sells them but costly.

Am I right in thinking that the hoses all run to the panel?

Now that's really cool setup, and thanks for the tips on some vendors.
Ya had me wondering "drill" after this many years, oh crap!

I have never had the opportunity working with the air solenoid valves with the switch on the end.
Always had real good durability in the road construction stuff though, Its been neat seeing some of these in the different coach pictures, great post here.

I'm curious how to make the manual level valves work with the "driving" leveling valves

Why do you need "The Driving Valve" as you call them. The bus as a Motor Home typically is loaded the same each outing. There really is no need for the "Automatic Leveling Valves"  I set my manual valves before I take off and have no trouble. The big plus here is my suspension stays aired up months on end unlike when I had the automatic levelers.

Ok, I guess that makes sense. I'm still learning. How's the best way to figure out the right pressure's? Trial and error? And how touchy is it? If your wrong does it put undue stress on the divine? And does that goof up your steering geometry?  Sorry about the questions.  =-O
